Hello We have an IOPS alert which works wonders. Though one of our customers wanted to have the threshold value in the alert not only the current value. I'm having no issues adding the global threshold value to the alert. But some nodes will also have custom IOPS thresholds set. I can for the life of me not find a variable…
Virtualization came as a boon to the IT industry. In turn, many organizations have benefited from making investments in setting up and leveraging a virtual infrastructure. Being able to show a strong ROI & delivering consistent performance and availability of a virtualized environment is one of the top priorities for any…
In a virtual environment, if a VM has performance issues, it can affect the performance of other components within the virtual infrastructure. The converse is applicable too. For example, you can collectively map all your VMs and, depending on the location of your bottleneck, you could find that the issue is related to…
A storage system on its own is not useful. Sure, it can store data, but how are you going to put any data on it? Or read back the data that you just stored? You need to connect clients to your storage system. For this post, let’s assume that we are using block protocols like iSCSI or traditional block storage systems. This…
Hi Can any one advice me how to add DDN storage in SRM for monitoring.
I wanted to write this up quickly for others like myself that want a top 10 LUNs by Latency or IOPS with historical data, similar to below: To start with, go in to Customize Page at the top right hand corner of the page you'd like the graph. Personally, I chose the Performance Dashboard in SRM. Click on the green plus sign…
Top 10 LUNs per IOPS grouped by Storage Array report gives you information about IOPS of your top 10 utilized LUNs. The report displays information grouped by all storage arrays so you can see all the most utilized LUNs on a one place. It can be sent by email to have such information every day with out need to log into the…
In my last posting, I wrote about my history with VDI, and some of the complications I dealt with as these things moved forward. In these cases, the problems we encountered were largely amplified exponentially when scaling the systems up. The difficulties we encountered, as I alluded to previously had mostly to do with…
This article has nothing to do with pancakes. But feel free to eat one while reading. Writing data to disk is the most fundamental source of latency in an online application that performs a high volume of concurrent transactions. Assuming every part of the application stack is tuned as well as possible, the operation of…
Running Orion Platform 2013.1.0, SAM 5.5.0, NPM 10.5, NTA 3.11.0, IVIM 1.6.0 SAM 5.5 indicates it will display IOPS on Volume Details. I'm only able to find three hosts that are reporting IOPS. How do I ensure that all of my Windows hosts (mainly vSphere 5.0 VMs) report IOPs per volume? Can this be done for ESXi 5.0 hosts…
